Clifford Maddern

Clifford Maddern was an officer of the United Kingdom's Blacks and Tans volunteers during the Irish War of Independence. In 1920, he had the Irish civilian Michael O'Sullivan bayoneted to death after he punched Maddern in self-defense, one of the many atrocities committed by the Blacks and Tans; Maddern was very intolerant of the Irish, demanding that they speak English and not Irish.
